About This Project

The original sign has only been filmed once. This happened on the 24th of August, 1944 around 7:30 a.m. in Arpajon, a small city in located 35 km away from Paris. At that moment the 2. US Armored Division was on it’s way to Paris to, later that day, march into the capitol.

A simple, but characteristic sign with the exact same look and font of that time. The sign is made out of glued branches, finished off with cross-braces, authentic brass screws and an all-weather finish.
